Chapter 426: The Arrogant Soft-Shelled Shrimp
🕑 Added 2025-09-12 03:39:09 +0000 UTC"You saw through it, huh? As expected of the kid Blake, you're a bit smarter than I thought." While Shiroyasha praised Blake, a somewhat heavy and extremely arrogant voice rang out.
"Mere No Name is also being taken seriously? Has the East District's Floor Master's standards dropped this low?" The sudden cold mockery changed the atmosphere of the entire space.
Blake narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up ahead. Izayoi Sakamaki's purple pupils also showed a cold glint.
As for Black Rabbit, Yo Kasukabe, Leticia, and Shirayuki-hime, they all looked annoyed. Anyone would be unhappy being suddenly mocked coldly.
Shiroyasha, on the other hand, didn't seem angry at all.
They saw a group of people walking towards them in orderly steps from the corridor on the side in front of the hall.
It was a group composed of lizardman-like soldiers and guards with slightly dark skin.
Leading them were two people. One was a stern-looking
man with antlers-like horns on his head.
The cold mockery just now came from this person.
The other was a girl around eleven or twelve years old.
She had bright red hair tied up on her head, wore a
headdress made of dragon horns, and was dressed in colorful clothes like a dancer.
This group of people came together in front of Blake and the others and stopped not far from them.
"Let me introduce them." Shiroyasha was the first to break the silence. She pointed her paper fan at the man and said.
"Mandala Toreike, a close aide to the leader of the North District's five-digit community 'Salamandra,' and also the current leader's older brother."
After speaking, Shiroyasha pointed to the young girl around eleven or twelve years old. "This is the current leader of 'Salamandra' Sandra Toreike."
"A little girl?"
"Huh, it's actually a little girl. Are all the current Floor Masters little girls?" Just as Shiroyasha finished speaking, Yo Kasukabe, Asuka Kudou, and Izayoi Sakamaki blatantly scanned Sandra's whole body and said in surprise.
As for Blake, he showed a smile. Sandra was indeed a top-tier loli, this trip wasn't in vain.
However, she seemed a bit shy.
Blake noticed a hint of panic in Sandra's red eyes and shook his head with a sigh.
"Little brat, what did you say?!" Provoked by the three problem children, Mandala's expression instantly turned sinister, and he roared, his hand already on the hilt of his sword.
"Man... Mandala-nii-san." Seeing this, Sandra quickly pulled Mandala back.
Watching this scene, Izayoi Sakamaki showed a thoughtful expression as he looked at Sandra.
"Hello, everyone from 'No Name.' I am Sandra from 'Salamandra.' I am truly very happy to be able to meet our former allies." After pulling back Mandala, Sandra quickly introduced herself.
"Former allies? Black Rabbit, are you hiding something from us?" Hearing this, the three problem children all frowned and looked at Black Rabbit, asking in a deep voice.
"Uh, this..." Being stared at by the three problem children with sharp eyes, Black Rabbit was instantly at a loss.
"'No Name' and 'Salamandra's' alliance. After 'No Name' was attacked by a Demon Lord, 'Salamandra' unilaterally dissolved it. Saying they were so-called former allies isn't really wrong." Just then, Blake suddenly spoke, his words full of sarcasm.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room instantly became somewhat sinister.
Especially Sandra, who didn't show anything on the surface, but in the depths of her eyes, a hint of helplessness faintly emerged.
Only Mandala had a look of taking it for granted. "Continuing to maintain an alliance with 'No Name' would only lower 'Salamandra's' prestige and reputation.
Dissolving the alliance was the only reasonable choice!"
One sentence made the already sinister atmosphere even worse.
"Man... Mandala-nii-san," Sandra quickly said to Mandala.
"No matter what, we did unilaterally break the alliance.
If we still act like it's natural, then that's impolite."
"Reputation is more important than politeness." Mandala cast a sharp gaze at Blake and his group with an irrefutable attitude. "As the leader of 'Salamandra,' one of the Floor Masters of the North District, you shouldn't have contacted mere nobodies in the first place. Let alone invite them to your birth festival."
"Former allies? Oh dear, oh dear, we really can't afford
to be your allies. When we had value, you shamelessly stuck to us, and when we were useless, you kicked us aside. That's really quite shameless." At this time, the displeased Izayoi Sakamaki finally spoke, his wickedly charming eyes full of contempt.
"Hehe." Asuka Kudou and Yo Kasukabe both sneered.
"Salamandra," a five-digit community, a Floor Master, these halos looked dazzling, but in reality, it was just a five-digit community. It couldn't even be considered top-tier among five-digit communities.
Let alone Blake, who could defeat Shiroyasha at her peak four-digit strength, even Izayoi Sakamaki was enough to sweep them aside. And Black Rabbit, who was no weaker than Izayoi Sakamaki, couldn't easily make a move due to her referee status. Not to mention that No Name also had the former Star Spirit Demon Lord Algol, Leticia and Shirayuki-hime with five-digit strength. Plus them.
Honestly, "Salamandra" wasn't anything special. It should be said that it was almost time for "Salamandra" to curry favor with them. Now this group was so arrogant, it really made Asuka Kudou and Yo Kasukabe feel like they were clowns, not worth mentioning.
Their strength wasn't great, but their arrogance and conceit were top-notch.
